Highlights
The theme of this update is giving Material some love after recent releases focused on iOS: menus, sheets, the sidebar and buttons now respond to press, hold and drag. Liquid Glass animations were refined too, and F-Droid review feedback was addressed.
- Features
- Material menus spring open and follow the back gesture, and buttons swell under your finger and bounce back
- Press, hold and drag onto an item to pick it: works in top-bar menus, bottom sheets, the chat tools sheet, sidebar links, sidebar chat menus and the Skills list
- Drag to scrub the sidebar's Chats/Projects toggle and the tabs on the media page
- Swipe down on an image to close it back into its thumbnail
- Liquid Glass segmented controls feel more responsive: the thumb jumps to your finger on touch, with a taller swell and a subtler lens
- Read release notes for the installed version and earlier ones from Settings
- F-Droid review feedback addressed: a clearer store listing title, and devices without a microphone are no longer excluded
- Bug Fixes
- Your typed message is restored if a send fails before the server saves it
- Voice input no longer crashes on Android builds without an on-device speech recognizer
- Dollar amounts like $5 and $10 in a message no longer render as math
- Saving an agent returns to its page, and editors ask before discarding unsaved changes
- Dismissing the keyboard now ends or confirms a chat title edit
- Settings lists now scroll behind the navigation bar instead of leaving a blank band above it
- Many minor UI quirks fixed throughout the app
- Privacy
- Website icons in web search results are now opt-in, so site addresses are only sent to Google if you allow it
- Misc Tech Debt Refactors
- Misc Stability Improvements
